FILLING APPETIZER - MAGIC MUSHROOMS

[Juicygirl]

This one isn't one to be made quick unless you want to skip the marinating part, but I wouldn't recommend it. It adds to the flavor. MMM

----MAGIC MUSHROOMS---- (not that kind guys J ) SERVES 6
I’m not sure if you can find the mushrooms that they speak of in a regular grocery store. I am not a fan of mushrooms, but this sounded good. You can use your discretion as to whether you want to go look for these kinds.

**NOTE** The mushrooms need to be marinated for a few hours. Just a warning in case you wanted a quickie meal.

Per Portion – 33 calories, 2g protein, 1g fat, 5g carbs

8 oz Shiitake mushrooms
8 oz Oyster mushrooms
8 oz Snow mushrooms
1 Tsp dried Oregano
1 Tsp Rosemary
1 Tsp Thyme
8 Tbsp chopped parsley (6 Tbsp if dried)
3 Shallots, well chopped
1 Tsp olive oil
Juice of 2 limes (medium to large)
¼ tsp pepper
Lettuce greens of choice (Romaine lettuce has more nutrients – FYI)

PREPERATION:

1. Remove stems from mushrooms. Clean mushrooms gently with damp paper towel
2. Chop all herbs together
3. Mix olive oil and lime juice; then add pepper & herbs
4. Marinate mushrooms and shallots in seasoned oil/lime mixture for about 2-3 hours (the longer the better)
5. Drain mushrooms and shallots and sautee in a non-stick frying pan for about 5 minutes turning frequently.
a. An alternative to the frying pan would be to pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F, and put them in there for about 15 minutes, stirring several times.
6. Serve on the greens of your choice!
